Zhong Xueran turned out to be not Xiao Ran, but Xiao Ran.

Liu Jingqing looked at the Sanqingling in Zhong Xueran's hand dumbfounded, and stammered and asked, "Yes...... Did you help us? ”

Zhong Xueran nodded: "Yes, I let you explore the way, and I am more or less responsible for you." ”

She showed her Sanqing Bell indifferently and said, "A permanent item exclusive to me, Sanqing Ling, can only be used once in a game, and you can designate up to three people to teleport within the game range!" How's that, it's amazing, right? ”

Zhong Xueran's face was full of pride, but Qin Manjiang suddenly said, "You entered here a week earlier than us?" ”

"To be correct, it's six days." Zhong Xueran put away the three clear bells, glanced at the two of them, and said, "In short, thanks to you, this week-long game can end today." ”

"Come with me!" Zhong Xueran snapped her fingers, looking quite happy.

Qin Manjiang and Liu Jingqing followed her and listened to her tell the reason for the incident.

"After receiving the call for the game, I entered Xianyang Village the next day, and I was easily accepted by them in the name of working for food and accommodation for foreign students." Zhong Xueran said as he walked, "The strange story of this village does come from a legend - a black sheep who helped refugees find a place to recuperate. ”

"I learned that for 20 years they have been holding festivals once every three years, which seems to commemorate the fairy sheep that once helped them, but in fact, it is through some kind of ritual to let the fairy sheep descend into the human body, and then control the person through some means, so as to control the fairy sheep and let it fulfill its wishes."

She casually pointed to the houses of the big families in the village, "Look, these things are all made by wishing." ”

"There is no reason in the world to get something for nothing, and since they have gained wealth, of course they will pay the price." Zhong Xueran's voice was a little lower, "It's just that the cost was passed on to the victim who was the carrier of the immortal sheep's consciousness. ”

"Once every three years, plus this year, at least seven people died in this ceremony." Zhong Xueran suddenly thought of something, turned his head and asked, "Speaking of which, what are the code names of the two of you?" ”

"I'm a pond fish, Liu Jingqing." Liu Jingqing hurriedly introduced.

"Deep ......" Qin Manjiang paused for a moment, he began to regret it again, why did he take such a name, "I am the abyss...... My name is Qin Manjiang. ”

"What abyss?" Zhong Xueran seems to have bad ears.

"Abyss!"

"Oh, hahaha!" Zhong Xueran patted Qin Manjiang on the shoulder, "You are still young, don't be shy if you like such a name." ”

"But then again, you're very sharp, Abyss-san." Zhong Xueran seems to like to tease Qin Manjiang very much.

"Miss Zhong...... Your props...... That's how it was used for us, okay? Liu Jingqing asked a little embarrassed.

Zhong Xueran waved his hand indifferently, and put his hand into his arms and pulled it out: "What do you think this is?" ”

The two of them looked at what she was holding.

Is that...... A brush?

"It turned out that you took it." Qin Manjiang thought of the urgency that Wang Ju hadn't found before.

"Well, that's the key to controlling the fairy sheep, as long as it's there, all of its abnormal abilities can't take effect on me, and even ...... I can also control it. Zhong Xueran looked at the brush with a smile, "So, we can end this game soon, as for the thing that helped you just now, you don't have to take it to heart, if you don't do that, it will be difficult for me to get out safely." ”

She led the way in the direction of the central square of the village, and said as she walked: "In fact, I have been looking for where this brush is hidden these days, and it is possible that the six families of Chen, Wang, Zhang, Li, Sun, and Xie are hiding it, and it is a little difficult for me to find such a thing in these six families with my own strength......

"So you told us the news and led us to investigate the situation of the six families, and just happened to encounter the revenge of the ghosts, and their eyes were focused on us outsiders and ghosts, so you took the opportunity to steal the brush kept in the village chief's house." Qin Manjiang continued.

"That's right, they know that there are ghosts, and they know what they are trading with, but these people are not in a hurry, they must rely on something, under normal circumstances, it is difficult for me to touch the village chief's house, but who made their ritual accident?" Zhong Xueran flexibly turned the brush between his fingers and admitted Qin Manjiang's speculation.

Liu Jingqing seemed to realize something at this time, she looked at Zhong Xueran and covered her mouth: "So...... The old village chief will die because you stole his brush? ”

Qin Manjiang and Zhong Xueran looked at her at the same time and asked suspiciously, "Shouldn't he die?" ”

The unanimity of the two also made each other stunned, and after glancing at each other, Zhong Xue smiled cheerfully, and then said to Liu Jingqing: "I'm not a murderer, they are." ”

Qin Manjiang nodded.

Liu Jingqing still seemed a little unacceptable, but finally did not continue to ask anything.

It's normal for people to have different perceptions.

Different experiences, different ideas, different visions, different personalities...... So many times people don't have to understand each other, and they don't have to convince others, just the most basic mutual respect.

At this time, Qin Manjiang suddenly felt something, not only him, but Zhong Xueran also stopped.

The two looked around.

The streets of the entire village were empty.

It's unsettlingly quiet.

Even if everyone goes to the central square of the village to participate in the Sheep Festival, it shouldn't be so quiet, right?

Soon all three of them sensed that something was wrong, and after continuing on for a while, they came to this conclusion, albeit in disbelief......

In the entire Xianyang Village, it seems that there are only three of them.

"Why, how can this be ......" Liu Jingqing's face turned pale, and said: "When we left the central square of the village, the festival had been suspended, and I obviously saw that everyone had gone home......

No one could give her an answer to this question.

"In the past few days, have you ever met a fairy sheep?" Qin Manjiang suddenly asked.

He looked at Zhong Xueran, the woman's eyes flashed, as if she was thinking about something.

Hearing this, she shook her head: "No, although I entered the village in advance, until last night, the whole village was normal, although the atmosphere was rather weird. ”

Qin Manjiang was silent, saying this, all the abnormalities did indeed start after the "Immortal Sheep" ceremony had changed last night.

Qin Manjiang now has a very bad guess.

He had seen the fairy sheep with his own eyes, the dark and blurred figure, only a black sheep's head was clearly visible, but the ghost he saw in the village chief's room just now was completely different from the appearance of the fairy sheep.

Could there be two ghosts?

One is the source of all weirdness, fairy sheep.

The other is the victim who died in the "immortal sheep" ceremony, Li Rong.

He glanced at the brush in Zhong Xueran's hand, and the doubts in his heart were even worse.

At this moment, a middle-aged sturdy man with a naked body and blood on his hands appeared blankly in the corner in front of him.

"Mr. He Jian?!"

Liu Jingqing exclaimed in surprise.

This sound also woke up He Jian, his eyes suddenly lit up, and when he saw Qin Manjiang and the others, he immediately shouted loudly: "Run!" Go to the central square of the village! Chen Ping is a ghost, and it chased after him! ”

This shout made Qin Manjiang, Liu Jingqing and Zhong Xueran's faces change suddenly, but Liu Jingqing and Qin Manjiang were surprised that Chen Ping was a ghost?

And Zhong Xueran was surprised, but it was the name-

"You said that among the players in the same group, there is a person named Chen Ping?"

She asked.
